It is still just a Linn but with more trick components. However much is spent it will never overcome the flaws in the original design
The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition
Linn have just announced their 50th anniversary edition LP12. See here:linn.co.uk/us/
The price is going to be starting at $60K.
Looks nice, but the price, like so much in the industry these days, seems to be what they used to call ' a thumb suck' number.
Thoughts??

@perkri +1! I have the pre-Linn Ariston RD and the later Ariston RD11S in my TT collection, along with an LP12. Ivor did indeed copy Stuart Hamish’s Ariston. In fact Ivor had Stuart build the first year’s LP12 production at the Ariston factory in Scotland. Both the Ariston and Linn are excellent belt-drive TT’s derived from the much-earlier Acoustic Research (AR) TT from Edgar Vilchur (half a million sold!). |
